Bang!
The door to the Hokage Office was suddenly pushed open.
Jiraiya darted in, followed by Tsunade and Yamato.
"Nidaime(2nd)-sama, is what Captain Yamato said true?"
"In such a short time, you've researched a Ninjutsu that can separate personalities on a soul level?"
Just like in the original story, Yamato, after leaving the Anbu, needed a new name, or rather, a codename.
Tobirama naturally had no interest or time to come up with a name.
Jiraiya wanted to name Yamato White Zetsu, but Yamato, having seen the mature White Zetsu, rejected it in a second.
In the end, Tsunade gave him the much more normal name of Yamato.
"That's right." Tobirama nodded expressionlessly.
"The reason I called you here this time is to inform you of this matter."
"Tomorrow, I will personally perform this separation Jutsu to completely separate Naruto from his sub-personality, Feng Xu."
Hearing Tobirama's words, Jiraiya was stunned and couldn't help but ask, "Separate tomorrow?"
"Why the rush, why so fast?"
"Or maybe we should test this Ninjutsu again to see if it's stable, if there are any side effects..."
"No need." Before Jiraiya could finish, Tobirama directly rejected him.
"I've already tested it, there are no problems, and enough time has already passed."
"I cannot allow the Nine-Tailed to be tainted by such a dangerous personality any longer."
"Especially since that personality harbors hostility towards Konoha and is secretly making moves!"
Remembering his elder brother, who still hadn't returned, Tobirama felt that even tomorrow was too late; it should start now!
Tsunade, who was beside him, suddenly remembered something and spoke up.
"Grand Uncle, the Hidden Cloud Village doesn't intend to lend us the Waterfall of Truth."
"I'm afraid we won't be able to start the separation tomorrow; we still need to communicate with the Hidden Cloud Village for a while."
"No need." Tobirama shook his head: "I've already found a way to do it without the Waterfall of Truth."
Tobirama had actually figured out a way to deal with Feng Xu from the pile of forbidden soul Jutsu when he first tried to borrow the Waterfall of Truth from the Hidden Cloud Village a month ago.
At that time, it required the assistance of the Waterfall of Truth.
Unfortunately, the Hidden Cloud Village wouldn't lend it, so he had to find another way, which is why it dragged on until now.
"There's another way, Nidaime(2nd)-sama is truly a master of forbidden Jutsu!"
Jiraiya didn't doubt anything.
After all, half of the powerful forbidden Jutsu in the Village were created by Tobirama.
"Go and tell Naruto to get ready, and have Naruto inform Feng Xu."
"Okay... Wait!" Jiraiya, who was about to agree, suddenly remembered a serious problem.
That was, he hadn't prepared a body to house Feng Xu's consciousness yet!
"Nidaime(2nd)-sama, I just got the technology from Hiruzen and Danzo, and I haven't cultivated a body that can contain it yet."
"How about we wait another year or so..."
Jiraiya's words were cut off by Tobirama's wave of a hand.
"Don't worry about that, I've already had the barrier squad prepare the apparatus to contain the separated consciousness."
"You just need to stand guard nearby and not disturb me no matter what happens."
In fact, Tobirama hadn't prepared anything.
Because he never intended to do any separation at all.
The explanation he gave now was merely to deceive and appease Jiraiya.
His goal was only to seal or kill, to make Feng Xu disappear forever.
After all, Feng Xu, who could use Tailed Beast transformation comparable to the Nine-Tailed's true body.
And had also fused with Sage Mode energy, was truly too terrifying!
That's right, because Tobirama was too far away at the time, he could only see two small figures fighting.
Coupled with Feng Xu's insufficient pupil power at the time, the Susanoo's armor only covered half of his body.
The hollowed-out parts in the middle were relatively large.
So Tobirama mistakenly believed that those black armor, like when Feng Xu annihilated the Shimura Clan, were black patterns formed by a large amount of fused Sage Mode energy.
And he didn't know that Feng Xu also had the evil Sharingan.
"It seems Grand Uncle, you've prepared everything long ago."
Tsunade turned to look at Jiraiya, who was deep in thought, then grabbed his collar and dragged him towards the door.
"Jiraiya, stop dawdling, hurry up and go explain everything to Naruto and Feng Xu!"
As he was dragged, Jiraiya's collar instantly tightened around his neck.
Struggling to breathe, his face turned purple.
"I, I know, easy, my neck, I can't breathe!"
Tsunade quickly dragged Jiraiya out of the Hokage Building.
It was only after they were outside that she released her grip, allowing Jiraiya to breathe.
"Don't be so violent, if you just called me, I would have happily followed you out, no need to try and strangle me..."
Jiraiya complained in a low voice while loosening his collar.
"Never mind, tell me, what's the rush, dragging me out like this?"
Tsunade automatically ignored Jiraiya's previous complaints and said with a frown.
"I just won my bet with Naruto."
"I know." Jiraiya was puzzled: "Don't worry, I know you used that money, I won't help Naruto ask for it back!"
"That's not what I mean!" Tsunade's expression was somewhat somber.
"You know my situation very well; I rarely win anything related to gambling, unless something bad is about to happen."
Hearing this, Jiraiya's expression also became serious: "You mean, tomorrow's separation will have problems?"
"I don't know." Tsunade shook her head.
"Maybe Naruto will have problems, maybe Grand Uncle will have problems, or it could be..."
Tsunade didn't finish her sentence, but instead gave Jiraiya a deep look.
"Is there something on my face?"
Jiraiya was a bit confused, but he didn't pay too much attention and turned to go back to the Hokage Building.
"If there's a problem, then I'll talk to the Nidaime and see if we can postpone it for a few days to investigate the issue."
But just as Jiraiya lifted his foot, Tsunade grabbed the back of his collar again and pulled him back.
"Jiraiya, that's not what I mean, and Grand Uncle won't believe this, nor will he change the plan."
"I just hope you pay extra attention tomorrow, and if you find anything wrong, intervene immediately and interrupt the separation Ninjutsu."
Tsunade didn't suspect Tobirama would cause any trouble, but rather suspected that Feng Xu would take the opportunity to attack Tobirama tomorrow.
Just like he dealt with her grandfather, Hashirama, back in the Hidden Sound Village.
"I see, I understand, you can rest assured." Jiraiya patted his chest, indicating that he would definitely pay extra attention.
After settling the matter, the two quickly returned to the training ground and told Naruto the good news that the separation could happen tomorrow.
Naruto immediately excitedly reported to Feng Xu.
Feng Xu, who had been waiting for this day for a long time, quickly responded to Naruto, indicating that he knew.
Chapter 195 Dead Demon Consuming Seal, Tobirama's Suspicion
The next day.
Still on that training ground.
Naruto stood nervously with Tobirama in the middle of the training ground.
Beneath their feet were dense, sprawling black barrier runes.
And at the end of these black barrier runes were many members of the barrier squad holding huge scrolls.
They formed a circle, surrounding Naruto and Tobirama in the very center.
As for Tsunade and Jiraiya, they stood behind the barrier squad, constantly observing the situation inside.
Besides Tsunade and Jiraiya, a large number of Anbu were on alert around them to prevent interference from others.
As all preparations were completed, Inoichi Yamanaka, temporarily serving as the barrier squad captain, came before Tobirama.
"Nidaime(2nd)-sama, everything is ready."
Hearing Inoichi Yamanaka's words, Naruto became even more nervous.
Tobirama nodded, then comforted Naruto.
"Naruto, relax, there's no need to be nervous, this will be over soon."
"Remember not to resist Captain Inoichi's Ninjutsu later, empty your consciousness and mind."
"Understood!" Naruto clenched his fists and nodded vigorously.
Seeing Naruto agree, Tobirama commanded Inoichi Yamanaka beside him.
"Alright, Captain Inoichi, let's begin now."
"Yes." Inoichi Yamanaka nodded respectfully.
Then he raised his hands, placing them on Naruto's forehead and Tobirama's forehead respectively.
Yin-release Chakra was infused, and the Yamanaka Clan's secret Jutsu was activated.
And Tobirama, sensing the Yamanaka secret Jutsu, quickly formed hand seals in front of his chest.
The surrounding barrier runes also emitted a faint, ethereal glow at this time, converging at Tobirama's feet.
The next second, a faint blue figure, ethereal like a soul, floated out of Tobirama's body.
Following the Yamanaka Clan's secret Jutsu's Chakra, it entered Naruto's forehead.
This was the method Tobirama devised to enter Naruto's consciousness.
Using the Yamanaka Clan's mind-reading and mind-communication Ninjutsu as a Chakra bridge.
Then using the barrier to assist him in releasing the Spirit Transformation Jutsu, which allows the soul to leave the body.
Finally, the soul would gently enter Naruto's consciousness along the Chakra bridge, to meet the other consciousness, Feng Xu.
And not cause the original effects of the Spirit Transformation Jutsu: possession, attack, or Chakra replenishment.
In the sealing space.
Feng Xu, who had been watching the situation outside, curved his lips into a smile.
"So this is how you're going to meet me?"
"As expected of the Second Hokage, he has more methods than Hiruzen Sarutobi."
The Nine-Tailed, lying beside Feng Xu, also saw the situation outside.
"He dares to invade with his soul..."
The Nine-Tailed sat up, turned, and bared his fangs at Feng Xu with a ferocious smile.
